"It's always too soon to talk about gun control"

Right. Don't look at felony disenfranchisement as a strange penalty. Look at it a Jim Crow law that is still legal. So much of America's politics are still wrapped up in the consequences of slavery and civil war.

Of course, a pardon can get voting rights back, and well, I'm sure if you donate enough money to your state governor it'll prove you're really penitent.
